December 8, 1999, Feast of the Immaculate Conception

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Mary speaks: I want a good quality recording of my message, Mary’s Message. I do not wish anything else. I want it to play continuously from the site under my image in Florida.

A small pause between the end of the message and the beginning is allowed, but this should not be of any extended length.

I wish the messenger to record on the Mary message help line. I am most grateful for what all of you have done to activate the message help line.

This is my recording for the Mary message help line for this Christmas.

My dear children,

I want to take you in my arms and caress you to my Heart.

This time of the year is a time when your hearts may be troubled.

Oh, my children, feel my presence with you. See me with you, walking next to you and leading you to my Son, Jesus.

It is so terrible there is such sadness in the world now, when you should have such joy. Jesus the Savior was born in Bethlehem.

Oh my little children, do not despair. Help me by offering up your suffering for my little lost children of the world. Oh my children, eternity is forever, heaven and hell. Oh my children, a little short life here and, my children, eternity is forever. Oh my children, you are being taught, you are being tested now to see if you will turn to God. Do not rely on yourselves, my children, oh my children, I cry to you.

Oh my children, this is my Christmas message for the help line. Oh my children, please offer up your suffering for your brothers.

My Son died for you to save you from your sins. Oh my children, He will forgive you your sins if you ask Him. Oh my children, He died for you. He knew you by name, He saw your face when He hung on the cross. Oh my children, He loved you to His death on the cross.

Oh my children, please spread His love, I beg you, I cry out to you, do not despair or be down-hearted. What you do with your lives here will make the difference. You can be with Him forever in eternal happiness.

You were created, my children, for Him.

Nothing will satisfy the craving of your soul but the love of God.

My children, He is the Creator.

My children, you are the creatures.

Oh my children, I cry to you, I cry to you, please listen to me.

Oh my children, I appear on the building in Florida. Your Father wishes this building for this work that I may reach this world and my children. Pray for this in this Christmas season.

Oh, I cry to thee. I love you, my little children, so much. When you are distressed, and you pray to me, I help you.

Pray, "Hail Mary, full of grace . . ."

Pray this 9 times and think of me helping you.

Pray the rosary, I appear to lead you to my rosary. Oh my children, praying it and meditating on the mysteries will help you.

I want fine coloring books published for children and adults to use with the short rosary meditations.

I want my message, Mary’s Message, to be said here by my messenger.

The Message from the tape Mary's Message December 12, 1996:

Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady...

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

Mary speaks: I wish my message of December 19, 1996, be read here.

December 19, 1996
Message from Mary

Mary speaks: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

^{( End of December 19, 1996 message from Mary)}

Mary speaks: I cry to you.

I stood beneath His cross. Oh my children, if you saw Him, if you meditate on the crucifixion, you will never forget His love.

I wish the photo I have requested be distributed extensively. I wish it to be a photo.

I wish my message, Mary’s Message, to be on cards and distributed. I wish all image cards, my original image card to include my message of December 19, 1996, and my message, Mary’s Message, of August 27, 1996. I wish these to be distributed throughout the world and always available at my site in Florida and the Centers and given to the nursing homes.

I wish my photo to be given to the nursing homes and the videos showing my love for them taped before the image with my Son’s songs. I wish the nursing home loved ones, my children, singing Jesus’ songs.

I wish the books of Songs of my Son Jesus distributed this Christmas in the little books and the tapes. His Heart is on fire for love of you.

You can request a photo of my site in Florida.

God has promised to give special graces of spiritual healing for all who come to my image site in Florida.

Come this Christmas, if you can, it will be 3 years since I first appeared December 17, 1996. Special graces will be given that evening and a procession will be held at 6:20.

I give you my love, my children. I love you with the love of my Immaculate Heart, I am your Mother.

I wish the words of my Son Jesus as He hung on the cross as recorded in the Gospel of John to appear here.

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

Mary speaks: I love you so much, I am your Mother. My Son gave you this gift. I am His Mother, I am your Mother, I love you so much. Please, I beg you to help me through your prayers and any way possible.

I love you so much, I am your Mother.

The Father loves you so much He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice for your sins.

Jesus is your Savior, the Savior of the World.

Pray to the Holy Spirit to fill you. This will help you with your battle against Satan.

I love you, so much, I am Mary, the Immaculate Conception.

Messenger: Mary wishes this message circulated extensively. It should be circulated from the Florida site. It should be given to all who come on December 12, 1999, December 17, 1999, and through the Christmas season. It should be given to all who come to China, December 12, 13, 14.

Messenger: Jesus requests the message December 8, 1995, from the Mass Book be printed here.

Messenger: I knew I was supposed to be here. I had such sufferings during the Stations, wrapped in pain. I am so lost in the depth of the emotions. My heart is torn in the Stations.

I love His presence, her presence - I am so wrapped in this presence, I just want to be alone with Them. I just want to be with them in ecstasy.

Jesus says, "…Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" (Mt. 12:48) There is a oneness in the roles of loving. Mary is His Mother, yet she is the New Eve, and He is the New Adam. He says, "…Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" (Mt. 12:48) There is such oneness between all in the Body of Christ. There is such oneness in our hearts when we consecrate our hearts to Them. We are all children of the Father. He wants us to love each other and live according to His will.

In heaven, we will be in harmony, enjoying His love, His goodness, His mysteries. I understand this immense love between all, living in harmony in the Father's will!

We see the Lord, and we adore and worship Him and live in His love. His love is enough for us.

The family is a little church. The father is the head. The wife must obey the husband. She receives the seed. There are little children.

Mary is close to Jesus in one Heart. Wives should be close to their husbands in one heart. Men and women have different roles. When we disregard the virgin birth of Jesus, we disregard the virgin birth of the Church. Mary is always bringing forth her children.

Mary is not respected as she should be. There are blasphemies against Mary, against her as Mother of God, against her Immaculate Conception, against the virgin birth. We must go through the pure one, Mary, to go to the deepest chamber of the Heart of Christ.

Concerning the marital act, the focus many times is not on love between husband and wife and the procreation of children, the focus of this most beautiful act many times in today's world is on giving pleasure. The Church does not agree with artificial contraception. One purpose of the sexual act is procreation of children. When people control the sexual act by artificial birth control, they eliminate the purpose of this act for the procreation of children. The act must be performed according to the Father's will. The sexual act is a beautiful loving act created by God. It is not a dirty act, an act for senseless pleasure. It is a serious act created by God to express love between husband and wife and to bring about the procreation of children. It is God's act to bring a life into the world. He gives the life in this act, created by Him!

The devil has made sin out of so many things. The sexual act is a beautiful act given by God. It should be used according to the Father's plan and treasured.

Love, oh, love, oh love - that is God Himself, but how little is understood of real love! Love and forgiveness go hand-in-hand.

Jesus showed us how He always, always forgave. He forgave Mary Magdalene - His way is love!

To be like Jesus we must strive to eliminate division with others in our hearts. Our hearts must be filled with love. He is Love! To be as He is, is to love. Wives should be subject to their husbands; husbands should love their wives. Their roles are not the same. He gives the seed, she receives the seed and loves it.

Priests are representing Christ to us. He has been anointed and chosen by God and given power, through God, to change bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus. Priests should be shown the highest love, respect, and honor, for they are the chosen sons of God.

The priest must realize the great honor and dignity that is given to him. The priest has the great gift to administer the Sacraments.

Also, the priest should pray over people. The priest should pray over people for their healing. It is so powerful when a priest prays over people.

Women and men have different roles. Christ gave Mary to us as our Mother. Mary's role was not to be an anointed priest. Christ is the Head of the Church. Mary is the Mother of the Church. Her role is to bring forth her children so they are more and more like Jesus. Mary stands beneath the cross. Jesus is above her. He is the New Adam, she is the New Eve. "…Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?…Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." (Mt. 12:48-50) We are one in Him. He raises us to such heights. We share in His divine life.

It is through His Resurrection and Ascension, we share in His life.

We are creatures - He is divine. He allows us to share in His divine life.

He is raised on the cross. He gave Himself on the cross. He gives Himself to us now. We unite with God in the Holy Eucharist (the Mass). At the Offertory, we see the priest mix one drop of water with the wine. This symbolizes our humanity sharing in His Divinity.

He is raised high on the cross above the creatures. He is resurrected from the dead!

In Him, we are raised to new life. He ascends into heaven and opens the gates for us. He is the Way. He is the Truth. He is the Life. It is in Him, we are raised up, as we become partakers in His life.

Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary into us, and we act as channels of His life in this world. God is the Source of life. To leave out God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is to leave out the Source of life.

Life is not life if it is not rooted in Him.

The Church is the way this life is channeled to us. The family is a little church. Our roles are as the Father wills - men and women are not the same!

They are as they were created by Him. It is in living according to His will that we will have peace and joy.

We are called to unite with Christ - only in Him will there be peace and joy in our lives.

To make yourself supreme is to try to reign on the earth. You are without power. Only through Him will you operate in love, peace, and joy. God the Father loves us so much. He wants us to love each other as His little children. We must be humble and put aside pride and hatred. His way is love. He is God. He calls us to love in our hearts. He wants us to act like His Son, to love and forgive and be kind.

Alleluia. He is the King of heaven and earth. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph!

The message I gave December 8, 1993, was the first message printed December 17, 1993. I wish this message to appear here.

Children Need Time and Attention

December 8, 1993 - 5:30a.m. 

Jesus speaks: I am the way, the truth and the life. Those who follow My will-they will have the light of life. I give you My will so you will be the happiest. If you do not follow, you suffer. Things do not work accordingly, and it is an uphill battle. This is the day of the Lord. Rejoice in it and be glad.

If you come to me for all you need, all else works out. When you go to the world, the world does not have what you need and nothing works out. I am the God of your fathers. What they thought was important is of no importance to them now. All that goes with them where they are now are the things of God. Life for them was a short journey, and then eternity. You know, they are no longer here. Did it matter how much money, how big a house? It did matter how they treated their children, but you (their children) still carry that with you. But their money, or job, or cows, or whatever-do you even know?

What you sow today, so shall you reap. If you sow hatred, you reap hatred. If you sow love, you reap love. This is alive in the hearts of your children. You do not pass on your pretty clothes or your beautiful furniture. You do not pass on your beautiful body. You pass on how you were as a person. Like ripples on a pond, it goes on and on.

All material things wither and fade like the grass and die. Fill yourself with the things of God. These are everlasting. The love you show today lives on in the hearts of your children. The anger and hate and selfishness live on in their hearts, too. What a legacy to be given to a newborn baby-generations of hate and selfishness!

So you thought you were so important. You thought children were children and they needed food and clothing and a place to stay. What children need is love and time. They need to know about God from their first moments. Fold their hands and teach them to look to heaven. Little ones are so close to Me. They are so innocent, so pure. Teach little ones about God before they get to the schools. Those first years are so important for a child. It is there they are taught for life. Don't go to work and leave these treasures at home, paid for a price of silver. Nothing is worth that money. Their beautiful eyes tell you what a treasure you possess.

Oh people, your children are all treasures in the field. Their love goes on and lives from generation to generation. You had to have money and thus started the feelings of the deprived heart. 'I was not worth my mother's time. I sat around all day with beautiful little gestures and nobody watched. I was, more or less, in my parents' way. Oh no, little one. Your parents were sick. To receive such a gift and then leave it at home and go out to work…!

I cry for the little children, left who knows where, while their mothers are off with their big jobs. Go back to basics, America. What is wrong with your heads?

God, family, love, one another. You are all off at your soccer games, in front of your TV and at your work. More money, more education, more, more, more. It is all so simple: God, family, love, one another. Each makes your hearts happy. Each gives you a far greater treasure, the treasure of eternal life. Your children receive a legacy from you, a pocket of silver or a heart of love.

A diploma and a hardened heart. What a legacy for your children! They are pushed aside and then they are run around like little packages. You must be here for this game and there for that one and then watch that TV show. Nobody even talks to each other. What about the family meal where children sit and learn about love?

Your lives are so busy-for what? God, family, love. That is what is important. Today's world teaches money and things, not God, sex, not love, indulgence. Oh, My heart is sad. Babies are murdered so some can get about their busy lives-doing what? Oh, pray for your brothers. Make your life a constant prayer. You can do more through prayer than anything else.

I am all powerful. I am at your side. I am counting on you, My soldiers of love, in a cold, cold world. Who warms the cold heart? There are so many cold hearts and those with cold hearts do not even feel the chill within their breast! They are blind and arrogant. They think they know it all. They know nothing. Love is the only answer. God must come first. I am here, little ones. I am alive in the eyes of the little children you leave behind. You miss the treasure for 30 pieces of silver. Pray, pray constantly. Your brothers need My help. Your prayers may save one of these cold hearts. Love your brothers through your prayers for them.

I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I come to you this Christmas with a heart of love to give. The last thing in many hearts is God. They have a million gifts and games and decorations but not a thought for Christ's birth. Pray for your brothers. Make your gift to all of them your prayers. Spend more time with me and less time at the malls. Your gift is the gift of prayer. Give to the poor. Don't buy more things.

Christmas is My birth. Your gift to Me and your brothers is the importance you place on God and your love. Nothing else even matters. I am Christmas. It is My birthday. And you can't find a card with Mary, My Mother, and Me on it! Oh, how sad!

I ask that you come and pray, that you be an example by your lives. Do not run amok. Come to Me and receive all your gifts. My gifts are everlasting and My Heart is on fire with love of you. The gift you receive is Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. Nothing can even come close to this gift. I am God. I come to you every day in Communion. What could be more important? Bring your children to Mass, not to soccer games. Pray with your children. Play little games with them. Talk with them. They are the true treasures on this earth.

America, you have missed the boat and now you are drowning in the water. But the worst is you do not even feel the water going down your throats. You are hard and stiff. Oh, oh pray, little ones. Pray constantly. Make this Christmas a gift of prayer for all your brothers in darkness. Sacrifice your time in prayer. Give your own children the gift of your time. Give them the gift of praying and learning about God.

Religious stores should be swamped, but most cannot stay in business. Go to religious stores for your gifts. Buy bibles-what a gift to give-and "lives of the saints." Make Christmas a time to turn yourselves back to God. What a gift-a time for coming back to God, for spending time with your family and for loving one another! And then peace will reign in the hearts of men.

I love you so. I long to share My love with you, but you, My children, are too busy. Pray, pray, pray for this world. Offer your days to Me as a prayer. Your prayers are all being heard. This is a time of My greatest mercy. Pray for the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

December 8, 1999 - Second Message
Given October 26, 1999 - Excerpt from God the Father’s message.

God the Father speaks: ...I wish this invitation be extended daily on the Internet to come and pray during the Christmas Novena at the image site. If this is impossible, pray at home for the coming of Jesus in the hearts of men...

December 8, 1999 - Nursing Home Message - Third Message

Nursing Home Residents, Terminally Ill and All Others

Don't Ever Close Your Heart (excerpt)

November 2, 1993 - 4:00a.m.

Jesus speaks: Step-by-step you ascend the stairs and you get closer each time to trusting more in Me. It is your taking each little step that counts. Ascend My steps each day, every day. A million times a day you can trust or worry. You choose, "Do I trust or not trust?" How could you not trust after all I did to prove My love for you? Focus on My passion, on My wounds, on My love, on Me, the one, true God, Who loves you this much! You are precious to Me, My little baby. Come and let Me comfort you. Lose yourself in My arms. "And they came and they were given His peace and love deep in their souls."

Messenger: When visiting a nursing home this is a plan you can follow to pray a little part of the rosary with the elderly or sick residents.

What is usually done and tolerated by the elderly folks is one Our Father, five Hail Mary's and another Our Father. The song, A Song from Jesus, can be sung before and after these prayers.

It is desirable to have a big picture of The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple when doing these meditations. Also it is recommended that you have pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Excerpt from July 13, 1995, The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple from Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary  

The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

1. Messenger: The Child Jesus was taken up to the Temple for the feast of Passover. Mary's Heart ached constantly from the prophecy of Simeon. Feel in your heart as Mary felt. She knew ever since the prophecy of Simeon of the suffering to come. There was such a connection between Jesus and Mary, such intimacy between Them! We see the Two Hearts beating within her body in the first two mysteries of the rosary. She provides life for Jesus through her milk in the third mystery. She comes to the Temple with the child Jesus in her arms and Simeon tells her of the sufferings to come. Now they take the Child Jesus to the Temple. Jesus is separated from Mary and Joseph. Mary and Joseph go on their way and Jesus is left behind. When Mary realizes that the Child Jesus was left behind, her Heart is in such sorrow! She returns to find the Child Jesus.
3. Mary carried many things in her Heart. Few times we hear her speak. There was a secret between her and her Son all through Their lives.
4. A sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary. Our eternal life was merited by Christ's life and death on the cross. Water and Blood poured forth from His pierced Heart. Life flows through Mary's pierced Heart to us for she is the Mediatrix of all graces. Our Mother, giving to us, dispensing to us this life. As she gave life to the physical body of Jesus, so she dispenses supernatural life to us.
5. We are being formed more and more in the spiritual womb of Mary, through the Holy Spirit, to be more and more like Jesus.
7. Mary speaks: My Heart was in such sorrow for the loss of my child! My Heart is sorrowing for the loss of so many this day. My dear little children, pray. Offer your days, each day, to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Spirit, with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory. Offer up all of your actions for the little children of this world who are suffering and in pain.

Q: How has praying together helped our oneness?
